\"linkedin\"<\/a>ever wonder who works behind the scenes to bring you all those great gmat tuesdays<\/a> and that awesome sat math ebook video<\/a>? why, that would be our very own content manager and multitasker-extraordinaire, lena brooks! and today, we have an exclusive q&a with the woman behind the content.<\/p>\n

but first, a little more about lena: she graduated from uc berkeley with a double major in english literature and gender studies. she is an experienced freelance writer and editor, and has edited and contributed to a number of arts and literature publications. she spends much of her free time covering things in glitter.<\/p>\n

glitter. nice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and now the q & a!<\/p>\n

1. so lena, how was your weekend?<\/b><\/p>\n

my weekend was really relaxing! i did some yoga, hung out in the haight, and got some work done planning a few upcoming film projects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. what’s your favorite hobby?<\/b><\/p>\n

my favorite hobby is making crafts with no discernable utility. for example, here are a bunch of unicorn horns:<\/p>\n

\"photo<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. what’s your favorite site to procrastinate on and why?<\/b><\/p>\n

my favorite website to procrastinate on is the dissolve<\/a> because i don’t feel bad about procrastinating when i’ve just read a really good film essay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. would you rather drive a hot pink car or have hair made of cotton candy?<\/b><\/p>\n

hot pink car for sure. i have aspirations to someday be a little old lady with blue hair and a pink car.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. what’s your favorite part about working at magoosh?<\/b><\/p>\n

hmm, it’s a tie between the awesome people and the emphasis on learning. i love that there’s always opportunity and encouragement at magoosh to deepen skills or learn totally new ones, and to engage with our work in a curious and data-seeking way. also, there are really good snacks. three way tie.<\/p>\n
